A Trail to Remember

A Trail to Remember

📍 Online

A Trail To Remember was borne out of the love of Britain's amazing long-distance trails and National Parks. ⛰️

Inspired by the beautiful medals you receive after completing running events around the world, and given some hikes can be more gritty than running events, we felt compelled to create ways to celebrate your achievements and experiences on the trails.

Helping to bring back the fond memories and experiences that were no doubt hard-earned over the many miles of the trail.

Happy trekking 🥾

Trail Pass & Partner Network

What Is the Trail Pass?

It starts with a reward — but it's about something much bigger. The Trail Pass is our way of recognising and rewarding people who protect the Lake District: picking up litter, camping responsibly, helping others, and giving back to the land they love.

Members who complete ethical hiking challenges earn a Trail Pass, which they can redeem at our growing network of partner establishments. Each pass is a small thank you — and a way to drive support back into the local community.

Digital Trail Passes

Modern & Secure: Our new digital Trail Pass system provides members with beautiful, mobile-optimized passes featuring QR codes for easy redemption. Each pass displays the member's name, challenge completed, partner information, and has a 30-day validity period.

Sarah's Litter Pick on Scafell Pike

"Found this bag of rubbish near the summit. Always carry a spare bag for picking up litter - you never know what you'll find up there! The views were incredible but the litter really spoilt it. Happy to have made a difference."

Emma's Trail Cleanup

"Cleared a blocked drain on the path to Catbells. Small job but makes a big difference for everyone who walks this route. The water was backing up and causing erosion - all sorted now!"

About The Fell Good Club

The Fell Good Club started as a simple idea: what if we could encourage the good behaviour we already see on the fells and reward people for caring about the places we all love?

Founded by Rob, a longtime Lake District hiker who got tired of seeing litter on the peaks and irresponsible camping damaging the landscape, this grassroots movement has grown into a community of like-minded outdoor enthusiasts who believe in leaving places better than we found them.

"After 20 years of hiking and enjoying the outdoors, I've seen both the best and worst of human nature. The Fell Good Club celebrates those who do the right thing — picking up litter, helping others, and respecting the land. These people deserve recognition — and thanks to our amazing partners, that might just be a free pint, coffee, or snack. 💚"

- Rob, Founder

We're not about preaching or pointing fingers. We're about building a positive community that makes ethical hiking rewarding, social, and fun. Every challenge completed, every piece of litter picked up, every act of kindness on the fells makes the Lake District a better place for everyone.

Join us, and be part of something that's making a real difference in the place we all cherish.
